The Phoenix was absolutely amazing. I am simply speechless! When we were searching for the perfect venue for both our ceremony and reception, we knew the Phoenix would be it from the moment we stepped inside! It was just so stunning! A large part of our decision in picking a venue also had to do with the type of people working there. When we came for our tour, we were introduced to Laura, who helped me throughout the entire wedding planning process. Her professionalism shined through, and she was just wonderful to work with. I had millions of questions as I was planning my wedding, and she answered every single one promptly. She truly put my mind at ease. The whole time, I felt like the Phoenix had everything under control. They worked very well with all of my vendors, and Laura let us meet with her several times just to make sure everything would be set up just right. She also helped me greatly with my timeline for the whole day. It was awesome having both our ceremony and reception at the Phoenix because my bridesmaids and I got to stay in the building all day long, get completely ready there, and watch as each of the vendors arrived and transformed the place into my vision! Our guests loved that everything was all at one place as well! Additionally, our guests raved about the beauty of the Phoenix and how INCREDIBLE the food was! All in all, it was the most perfect place to be married, and Laura was absolutely great!

When we walked into the Phoenix, we were instantly in awe. The enormity and elegance of this venue just takes you by surprise( not to mention the mimosas and treats they greet you with!) Abby was there for us every step of the way, giving us vendor recommendations, helping us pick out the menu, she even set up our décor for us on the wedding day. The girls got ready at the Phoenix and it was the best decision ever! Abby and the rest of the staff would check in on us and also give us our privacy at the same time. You get it all at the Phoenix. Abby was there for everything, even helping bustle my dress before she headed out for the night! The serving staff was so much fun and amazing! All of our guests couldn’t stop complimenting about the food and staff. We would recommend the Phoenix 10/10 for anyone. They give you so many options and help you stay within your budget. They made our vision come to life and truly gave us the dream wedding!

The Phoenix is absolutely AMAZING! Our coordinator, Lauren Melloan, was attentive to our questions and emails and always had our happiness and wedding vision top of mind. The week of the wedding she handled last minute changes and contacted all of our outside vendors which was a HUGE help. Our guests said the food was the best they've ever had at a wedding and the Grand Ballroom itself is GORGEOUS. Our pictures on the staircase turned out beautifully and you can walk to Piatt Park for some fun outdoor pictures. Also, doing your bouquet toss off the balcony is such a fun twist! Working with Lauren and The Phoenix was THE best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Thank you to Lauren and The Phoenix for making our wedding a dream come true!

I highly recommend the Phoenix and their staff. As a vendor who sees hundreds of events every year, I can honestly say you will not find a higher quality venue or experience. All of the staff from sales to the actual servers for your celebration will be top notch and give you outstanding customer service. I've been providing DJ Entertainment, Photo Booths, Lighting and more for over 39 years, and many of our most memorable events were at the Phoenix. I would have no problem giving them Five Stars!

I always love setting up a wedding cake at the Phoenix. It is a very romantic setting for your wedding and reception. A photo shoot on their beautiful, marble staircase is always a must.
